Red Pepper No 4

There is something about the way a pepper reflects light.The shiny surface is so interesting to paint. The red like a new tube of lipstick. I used a light background so that the focus would be only on the pepper. I painted with cadmium's because I like the way they cover. Using Cadmium red,yellow,and orange. Cadmium's can be toxic when wet but are harmless when dried. It is best to wear gloves when painting with them something I will start doing.
